All these negative plays on early downs

Only thing Kiffin did that I didn't like was calling the pass to Kief and running the shuffle sweep to Ridley.

Kief isn't the type of WR you throw to in the flat and we have only blocked the shuffle sweep once or twice all year.

That jet sweep......Damn. 99% of the time it is a disaster. If Kiffin is going to run the jet sweep it needs to be a setup play for a double reverse sweep later in the game or something. At least if you get the defense committing to one side of the field, you have a chance for a huge play on a reverse to the other side. Maybe a wide receiver pass.... I dunno.... Maybe that is something in the bag they have been saving for someone like LSU..... I may have said too much... I'll shut up now.

It is play calling, but also getting the play off under 3 seconds allows the DLine to get a good jump, they understand when the play is in a rush situation.

We have to get the play off faster, and too many players are out of postion and have to be moved.

Exactly what I was thinking...it has to be some sort of set up for a trick play for someone like LSU

Stahp with the negabammer shite. This is like your 3Rd bitch thread. We won by almost 20 enjoy it.

I dont' understand this mentality. We won by 20 because our defense returned 3 INT's for TD's.

We obviously played awesome in many aspects, but we also played quite poorly in others. That's just reality.

Our punt unit might as well have be trying to throw the game, for instance.

Bad offensive playcalling allowed them to regain momenum during the 3rd qtr.

They returned a punt for a TD in the 2nd the get within 15. We fumbled the kickoff and started on our own 8. We got TWO false start penalties and punted. They missed a 55 yarder at the end of the half. 28-13

First drive of 3rd: 2 yard pass, 1 yard run, 3 yard pass. Punt.

A&M goes 3 & out. Cyrus Jones fumbles punt, A&M recovers. Scores TD (only offensive TD) three plays later. 28-20

Bama drive: 9 yard pass, Henry -2 yard rush, incomplete pass to Stewart. A&M blocks punt. Two incompletitions followed by a sack and they miss a FG.

Bama goes on a 13 play, 51 yard drive. After getting 2nd & 2 at the 12 Henry then rushes for -1 and -2 yards. Field goal kicked. 31-20

A&M goes 3 & out.

Bama throws a 28 yard pass to Ridley, followed by Henry for 5, -3, and an incomplete pass to Stewart. Punt.

A&M throws interception.

Bama goes on 7 play, 25 yard FG drive. Gets 1st & goal on the 8: Henry -2, Coker run for 8, Henry for -1. FG, 34-20 11:17 left in game at that point.

But go on about bad play calling giving A&M momentum.

I think everyone in the stadium and watching on TV saw that play coming when he came in motion, because he had just run the same damn play the prior series, but with Ridley. The first one went for a nice gain.

That play almost develops as a run/pass option for the QB to decide, so I wonder if Coker misread something on the second one.


Anyway, I thought the play calling was fine Saturday. We were hamstrung in the 2nd half without Kelly, and as I recall that's when a bulk of our negative plays on 1st down came. Can't run Henry up the middle every play, and saw some nice play calls getting the ball to Howard, and that sideline fade to Ridley was a great call, and a beautiful throw.
